§ Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will set out in tabular form in the OFFICIAL REPORT his estimate of how the costs of a £1,000 house were made up in 1938, respectively for labour, materials, land and finance, and the same figures for a similar house in 1958, 1964 and 1965.
§ Mr. MacCollThe only relevant information available to me relates to the cost (exclusive of land) of a local authority 3-bedroom house. The breakdown of costs is approximate:
of Bootle since 1946; how many of such dwellings have been built for rental; and how many applications to build such dwellings have been refused since that date by the local authority.
